That's not camera/lens, that's post processing, or in-camera effect. Looks like levels adjustment plus sharpening to me.

IMO all the M3/M4 on the delivery truck in Taiwan look similar (ferric grey) to the car exhibited in Spa. The two cars on the delivery truck with silver wheels are 1 serie.

I like the fatter sidewalls with the 18's but I'm not a fan of the wheel design

cncmastr · 05-20-2014, 03:51 PM

I may be the only one not in love with those wheels. The detail-er in me feels that those are SUPER easy to clean however.

sq86 · 05-20-2014, 04:03 PM

The MG looks good. I think that will be my color choice or BSM or maybe Mystic Blue. Good thing I have another 2 years to decide!

3M TAPE · 05-20-2014, 04:11 PM

Love the big fat meat on those tires!
Just like what I thought:
18in wheels + Sedan = Win

Its become almost a cliche reply on this thread now, but those 18s do look good especially with those meaty tires.
Much better design than the 19s, perhaps making room for a future 19" "ZCP Wheel".

BKsBimmer · 05-20-2014, 04:55 PM

IMO there's way too much wheel well for 18's. I'd go with 19's.

Completely agree on being F30-like. MG looks pretty completely clean, but when dirty will look even more indistinguishable from an F30.

I think BMW screwed up on the wheel design this time around. None are appealing. 18s worse than 19s. Chose 19s black but still not satisfied.

Are you kidding? Why would you put spacers on an M3?

I am really digging the 18s, they look smoked. Do they really come like that?

Plus one

Desborough · 05-20-2014, 05:55 PM

Color is great but these wheels are definitely not it, way too small. Needs the BBS F1's 20's

SilentAttack · 05-20-2014, 06:02 PM

Looks like they come with "lift" kits

1stm3f80 · 05-20-2014, 06:19 PM

18's just look to small for the car.

Falafel Combo · 05-20-2014, 06:31 PM

Those wheel gaps would make my xDrive blush!

Love the M3!!!

antzcrashing · 05-20-2014, 06:43 PM

Worst wheels on an M3 ever

Can we get Verification on US Spec actual wheel colors. Please

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I'm lost. When I look at the configurator the standard wheels seem to change colors with the exterior color you select, and the picture of the delivery truck in Taiwan had me thinking that might actually be the case. I appreciate the reply that points out those are 1 series cars.

This should really be well sorted out before people have to finalize their orders.

StealYourFace · 05-20-2014, 07:01 PM

Would like the 18s on my 330i.... Whatever happened to these? Probably just mule wheels I guess..

Wheel gap is strong.
